... form of military commission formerly used in the [United States(U. S.) ] and British armies. Under the system in which an officer was customarily promoted within his regiment or corps, a brevet conferred upon him a rank in the army at large higher than that held in his corps. Frequently it carried with it the pay, right to command, and uniform of the higher grade. In the United States especially, brevet rank was widely bestowed as a reward for outstanding service; it became the subject of extensive confusion and controversy during the American Civil War. After 1865, U. S. brevet rank was gradually stripped of its benefits, and officers were rewarded instead by decorations.  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - brevet%20rank
